I have definitely gotten more laid back and less judgy over the years. How has she missed that? It kind of broke my heart. Was she seriously sitting there ( Read more... )

Elizabeth is a little under ten years older than me, actually -- she's 51! I know I was a snot-nosed pedant back in the day, but over the years, I realized I'd rather be friendly than douchey, and I stopped pointing out spelling and grammar errors unless someone was being directly hostile towards me.

She told me a few years back that doesn't really even use contractions in her everyday speech, which honestly blows my mind. I think she's chilled out on that a little. Still, I met her when we both worked at Pacific High School in 2005. She's seen me through so much, and I've worked hard to show her that I love her unconditionally (though I admit, I had to question that for a minute last year when she asked me to get Viagra in Mexico so she could drug her boyfriend and try to get him to sleep with her more...which disturbed me way too much ( ... )
